Sinopsis

Abolition Movements offers a comprehensive exploration of the global struggle against slavery, highlighting its complex and multifaceted nature. Rather than a single event, abolitionism emerged as a tapestry of interconnected movements, each uniquely shaped by local contexts yet unified by the pursuit of freedom and social justice. The book argues that understanding the economic underpinnings of slavery, particularly its integration into global trade networks fueled by commodities, is crucial to grasping the institution's scale and tenacity. It further examines the diverse figures who championed abolitionism, from enslaved people resisting bondage to religious reformers and political leaders, showcasing the varied approaches employed, including moral persuasion, political lobbying, and slave revolts.

 
The book chronologically and thematically traces the history of abolitionism, starting with the historical context of slavery and moving through the rise of abolitionist movements in Europe and the Americas, including pivotal events like the Haitian Revolution and the American Civil War. Subsequent chapters explore the persistence of slavery in other regions and the ongoing fight against modern forms of human trafficking. Uniquely, this historical analysis provides a global perspective, moving beyond the traditional focus on the transatlantic slave trade to emphasize the agency of enslaved people in their liberation. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, Abolition Movements provides a rigorous analysis that connects to economics, sociology, and political science.

 
The book concludes by reflecting on the legacy of abolitionism and its relevance to contemporary struggles for social justice and human rights, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the long fight for freedom.

The Leaving Season - A Memoir in...

Kelly McMasters

Kelly McMasters found herself in her mid-thirties living her fantasy: she'd moved with her husband, a painter, from New York City to rural Pennsylvania, where their children roamed idyllic acres in rainboots and diapers. The pastoral landscape and the bookshop they opened were restorative at first, for her and her marriage. But soon, she was quietly plotting her escape. 
 
 
 
In The Leaving Season, McMasters chronicles the heady rush of falling in love and carving out a life in the city, the slow dissolution of her relationship in an isolated farmhouse, and the complexities of making a new home for herself and her children as a single parent. She delves into the tricky and often devastating balance between seeing and being seen; loss and longing; desire and doubt; and the paradox of leaving what you love in order to survive. 
 
 
 
Whether considering masculinity in the countryside through the life of a freemartin calf, the vulnerability of new motherhood in the wake of a car crash, or the power of community pulsing through an independent bookshop, The Leaving Season finds in every ending a new beginning.

Mississippian Culture The: The...

Editors Charles River

When most people think of “ancient American civilizations,” the Aztec, Maya, or Inca cultures probably come to mind immediately, because the societies in Mesoamerica have left behind permanent structures for millions of visitors from around the world to see each year. At the same time, however, from about 1000-1500 CE, an equally complex culture formed along the banks of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio Rivers. From Red Wing, Minnesota to Greenhouse, Louisiana, and from Spiro, Oklahoma to Macon, Georgia, societies built impressive mound structures that served as ritual platforms, burial sites, and residences for the elites. These mounds also served as the focal points of urban areas of varying sizes that were connected to each other through trade and ideology, forming a culture that modern historians have since designated the “Mississippian culture.”  
	It has only been recently that modern archaeological, anthropological, and historical methods were utilized to create a somewhat accurate image of the Mississippian culture’s reach and importance in the wider contexts of American and world history. Today, historians have a much better understanding of many aspects of Mississippian culture, including its chronology, the religion of the people, urbanization, and how the people lived, and the fact that there were fully functioning complex societies that had sophisticated forms of government and long-distance trade networks. 	The mounds they made, which continue to serve as standing testaments to their extraordinary accomplishments, continue to be studied by experts who still have plenty of questions about the societies that produced them. But one thing’s for sure: with no evidence of a written language and a high probability that the groups spoke different languages (based on the earliest lingual patterns encountered from each region), what the Mississippian culture accomplished in the span of a few centuries is nothing short of phenomenal.
